Struggling with These Depression Obstacles?

Are you constantly unhappy? Feeling sad is a natural part of life. However, some people feel so “down”, they are no longer able to experience joy or pleasure in their lives.

If you feel you have lost your motivation and energy and seem to be stuck in a dark place, you may be suffering from a condition known as Depressive Disorder.

Depression affects the way you think, feel and behave. It is a more intense form of sadness. Depression can hurt both physically and emotionally. In some cases, severe depression can be disabling.

With proper treatment, you can feel happy again.

People with symptoms of depression often:

  • Have lasting feelings of sadness and hopelessness.

  • Don′t want to do things they used to find interesting or fun.

  • Feel helpless, unworthy, and guilty.

  • Don′t look forward to anything; nothing in life excites them.

  • Are pessimistic; have a negative outlook.

  • Obsess about regrets in life.

  • Are not motivated to do anything.

  • Have less energy; can′t concentrate.

  • Have more physical complaints.

  • Have problems with sleep; either sleeping more, waking early, or having disrupted sleep.

  • Do not feel interested in sex.

  • Have a change in appetite; either eating more or less.

  • Have uncontrollable crying spells.

  • Isolate from family and friends.

  • Avoid interacting with people.

  • Have a hard time making decisions.

  • Are unhappy with almost everything in their lives.

  • Often think about death.

If you’re dealing with any of these symptoms, contact our office to request an appointment today.

“I can’t believe how much seeing Kyra has changed my life. I was in a very low place and finally made the decision to seek help after living with untreated depression and anxiety my whole life. I felt quite hopeless but after reading through Kyra’s reviews and seeing how many people she’s helped I knew she would be able to help me as well. It’s been a few months since my first visit with Kyra and my world has changed for the better. I find joy in simple things and finally feel a sense of motivation I was lacking for years. I still have ways to go but I am so proud of the progress I’ve made in just a few months. Thank you, Kyra!”
– Ariella C.

“When I arrived at my first session depressed, anxious and with a sense of never being good enough + filled with self doubt — I was not sure how Kyra could even help. Kyra started building me one piece at a time and made wonderful suggestions in each session. The sessions are like sitting down with a friend who never judges and gives me a different perspective on how to look at my world and my challenges. The fact she was so positive/nonjudgmental was invaluable!

As part of my coping with depression and anxiety, I made fairly bad decisions with food and physically taking care of myself. Unfortunately it wasn’t just the negative feelings I lost and the impact on my emotions — it was also physical + I also lost many of the positive feelings of hope that should have still be there. As my sessions continued, I started to re-establish contact with those good emotions — even though at times it wasn’t easy and it wasn’t always a straight line — Kyra was great at getting me focused again.

I am learning that my patterns of thought that lead me into darkness are just thoughts. Kyra has told me I have the power to control those thoughts — they do not need to control me. I am growing to accept I’m not perfect but also starting to realize I am very worthy and a good person. I makes mistakes, yes, but that doesn’t make me a bad person or define me forever. You’ve given me great guidance and I am starting to realize that I am a good person and it is also OK to feel deserving when good things happen for me! Kyra, thank you.”

“In the short time that I have been seeing her, Kyra has helped me more than any other doctor has before. Kyra got me on the right track with a new medication, and has helped me understand things about myself that I didn’t know how to properly interpret before. She is compassionate and genuinely cares about you and what is going on in your life. I would recommend her to anyone who feels lost or is struggling and looking for someone to help get you back to being your best self!”

“Kyra is great!! Her consultations have helped me immensely, and her diagnoses were spot on. Thanks to her, I’ve managed to answer questions that have been following me for years and discover new things about myself, changing the trajectory of my life for the better. Her demeanor is both professional and friendly and most importantly, she makes me feel heard. She truly is an expert in her field. I’d recommend her to anyone who feels they need professional psychiatric care!!”
– Dylan B.

“Kyra truly is a breathe of fresh air for me. She’s never judged me and always just wants to know exactly what’s going on. She actually cares about me getting better and I finally have gotten ALOT better since I started seeing her. Also, Lisa has been great at communicating and helping however she can which is much appreciated as well.”
– Chris L.

“I am beyond grateful to have found Kyra as my psychiatric nurse practitioner. From our first meeting, she has provided not only expert guidance but also genuine care and understanding. Kyra listens intently, always making me feel heard, and her insight has been a true turning point in my journey. I had struggled for quite some time, but in these few months with Kyra, I have noticed a profound shift in my mental well-being that I had thought was out of reach.

Her ability to blend professionalism with a personal approach makes each session not just helpful but also uplifting. Kyra’s encouragement, empathy, and dedication have helped me feel more resilient and capable of handling challenges. I cannot thank her enough for being such a gifted and compassionate practitioner.

I’ve been to a multitude of providers over the past twenty years, but Kyra is the first who has truly put me on the right track. With her guidance and expertise, my anxiety is finally 100% better. Kyra’s compassion and skill are unmatched, and I am deeply grateful for the positive transformation she has helped me achieve. She is, without a doubt, an exceptional practitioner, and I am so thankful to have her support.

Lastly, to match, her Office staff is absolutely wonderful, attentive and responsive. They use a modern EMR so they send out text reminders, emails, and allow you to contact them via email, phone or text. I love when an office isn’t stuck in the 50s. Once again, highly recommend Kyra and her team.”
